Chapter 785: The Mongol Prince (3)
Seeing that Liu Xunyi's expression was entangled, he didn't say anything to refute it for a long time, and suddenly knew that the time had come, so he laughed heartily and said slowly: "Marshal Wang and Wang Xutong are of the same lineage, and it is inevitable to act impulsively just now when I am sad and angry. ”
Hearing that Su Lie spoke, Wang Dechen's attitude suddenly softened a little, took a deep look at Liu Xunyi, who had mixed tastes, and walked back to his seat with an empty bowl.
"Huh?" Hu Lie's gaze inadvertently glanced at Wu Chan, and he asked curiously, "Why is there another monk among the envoys of the Song court?"
"The little monk is a Shaolin disciple, and he met the princess by chance halfway, so he was escorted all the way by the order of his uncle and ancestor. ”
"In this way, the little master is not from the imperial court?" As for this, Hu Lie couldn't help frowning, and said, "Then the others ......"
"That...... He is not a member of the imperial court. Li Haitang squeezed out a hint of an embarrassed smile, and took the initiative to recommend himself to Hu Lie and Wang Dechen, "It's rare to have the honor to meet the prince and Marshal Wang, and I have to say hello to the two of you on behalf of the Holy Lord of my family no matter what......"
"Who is the Holy Lord of your family?"
"Dragon Elephant Mountain, clouds chasing the moon. ”
"Longxiang Mountain?" suddenly stunned, muttering "I seem to have heard ...... somewhere"
"Lord Wang, Longxiang Mountain is in Dali, Yunnan, Yun Chaiyue has sent people to Wuliang Hetai many times to show goodwill, trying to make friends with us, but Wuliang Hetai has not paid attention to it. Wang Dechen reminded, "If it weren't for Duan Zhixing, the king of Dali, who repeatedly interceded and tried his best to protect the clouds and chase the moon, when our army passed through Ailao Mountain, we could have razed Longxiang Mountain to the ground with a delay of half a day." ”
"I remembered that Wuliang Hetai and Yan Wuji had both mentioned Longxiang Mountain to this king. The difference is that Yan Wuji highly admires Longxiang Mountain, but Wuliang Hetai scoffs at it. Suddenly Lie suddenly realized, and asked in a wordy voice, "What? Could it be that Yun Chasing the Moon has now become a loyal minister and a good general of the Great Song Dynasty?"
"This ......" Li Haitang wanted to deny it, but considering the current environment and Liu Xunyi and Feng Tianba beside him, the words that came to his mouth were swallowed back into his stomach raw, and he said vaguely, "The Holy Lord is used to being idle clouds and wild cranes, and he doesn't want to participate in the battle of the imperial court, he just hopes that the world will be peaceful and he can live a stable life for a few days." ”
"Whether he can live a stable life also depends on whether he understands current affairs. Long Yu Yin and Yang interjected in a strange manner, "Yun Chaiyue was originally an ally found by Yan Wuji, and promised to join us to eradicate the major sects in the Central Plains during the martial arts conference. At that time, the Jingbei battalion dispatched 30,000 soldiers and horses to wait for the ambush around Huashan. Unexpectedly, Yun Chaiyue temporarily changed his hexagram, colluded with Luo Tianjin to deceive Sui Zuo, and even used Sui Zuo's secret order to send people to attack the camp, making the seamless extermination plan fall short. The Great Khan was extremely angry about this, and Sui Zuo and Yan Wuji were also affected by it, presumably this is also the reason why General Wuliang Hetai refused to ignore Long Xiangshan......"
"No, no, no!" Li Haitang hurriedly explained, "At that time, the Holy Lord did not agree to join forces with General Sui, but persuaded Lord Yan Ling to withdraw his troops. Although there are discords among the various sects, everyone belongs to the Central Plains after all, and the Holy Lord really can't bear to watch his fellow Daoists being killed. As for what happened next, it was just a mistake and a mistake...... The most important thing is that the Holy Lord of my family tried his best to mediate in order to save General Sui's life......"
"You should kill him. Wang Dechen said lightly, "For Sui Zuo, stealing life is far more shameful than death. ”
"This ......"
"Alright!" Hu Lie waved his hand to interrupt everyone's gossip, and said with a straight face, "This king's Chinese army tent is not a place for you to catch up with the past. No matter where you come from, since you are standing here today, this king should only regard you as envoys of the Great Song Dynasty. As for other grievances and grievances, right and wrong, this king has no time or interest in asking. ”
"What the prince said is very true!" Su He waited for an opportunity to speak, "They are here on behalf of the Great Song Dynasty, and they should discuss with the prince about reconciliation, how can they use the trivial matters of the rivers and lakes to delay the precious time of the prince." ”
After saying that, Su He glanced at Liu Xunyi without a trace, and motioned for him to hurry up and discuss the matter with Hu Lie.
"The peace talks between the two countries have been settled in the past negotiations, and there is no need to say much about it today. Lord Liu worshiped the 'Great Song Dynasty and the personal envoy', and should have presided over the negotiation of peace matters. Now, however, there is something more important, and I want to be honest with you. Without waiting for Liu Xunyi's words, Hu Lie suddenly changed his words and said solemnly, "If this matter cannot be properly resolved, whether it is peace or peace discussion...... I am afraid that it will be difficult. ”
"Dare to ask the prince to make it clear!" Liu Xunyi and Feng Tianba glanced at each other and promised, "We are here for the harmony between the two countries, and we must know everything and say everything." ”
Lord Liu's words, this king listened very comfortably. Hu Lie nodded with satisfaction, "Since Princess Da Song is now the beloved concubine of this king, then this king will treat you as a family." You Han people have a saying, 'One family does not speak two languages', and this king agrees with it very much. ”
"Thank you for your trust!"
"Although I trust you, I don't know if you trust this king?" A hint of cunning flashed in Lie's eyes, and he said secretly, "Lord Liu, are you dissatisfied with the Great Khan's avoidance?"
"Why did the prince say this?" Liu Xunyi was shocked in his heart, but he remained silent on the surface.
"When you were 'catching up' with Marshal Wang just now, although your attitude was respectful, you had a gun and a stick between the lines, as if you were resentful. Hu Lie smiled faintly and signaled that Liu Xunyi didn't need to be nervous, "This king guesses that your resentment does not come from Commander Wang, but from the Great Khan, don't you?" ”
Liu Xunyi thought about it for a while, and arched his hand: "Lord Mingjian, I don't dare to be resentful of the Mongolian Great Khan, but I ...... I just don't understand it. ”
"Do you want to figure it out?" asked Kulie rhetorically.
"This ......"
"Do you want to know why the Great Khan refuses to see you?"
"This ......" In the face of the sudden opening to the point, Liu Xunyi hesitated and hesitated, "Maybe the Mongolian Great Khan has something else to do......"
"No!" Hu Lie looked straight and shook his head slowly, "The Great Khan has nothing to do today, and the reason why he refuses to see you is because there is something that makes the Great Khan like a thorn in his back, and he is still haunted by it." ”
"What?" Liu Xunyi was shocked and said worriedly, "Is it because of Huashan ......?"
"It has nothing to do with the martial arts conference. ”
"That ......"
"What made the sweat so uncomfortable was what happened in Yunya Town. Hu Lie looked around at Liu Xunyi and the others, and said unhurriedly, "Yunya Town is the territory of your Great Song Dynasty, and the team sent by the Great Khan to pick up relatives was attacked there, not only lost the ten cars of the concubine, but also caused all the eight hundred iron horsemen to die tragically. ”
"This matter ......"
"Don't worry!" Hu Lie interrupted Liu Xunyi again and continued, "This is not what makes the Great Khan the most angry, what is even more infuriating is the negative attitude and slow reaction of the Song court to this matter, which is rare in ancient and modern times. Since the incident in Yunya Town, almost two months have passed, and the Great Song Dynasty has not even sent a letter, and the Great Khan knows about it through folk gossip, which is simply ridiculous. No news, no explanations, no reparations...... As far as I know, the Song court didn't even thoroughly investigate the thieves who attacked Yunya Town, but just tossed around for a while, and then there was no news. If the Great Khan hadn't told me these things himself, this king would not have dared to believe it. ”
"This ......"
When the Great Khan learned of this, he immediately sent Long Yu to Hexi to meet him, and the Great Song Emperor ...... You are a 'peace envoy', after the accident in Yunya Town, can Song Ting send someone to inquire about your news?Can you care about the safety of the princess?" Seeing that Liu Xunyi was speechless, he couldn't help but sigh, and his words became more and more meaningful, "You Han people have a saying called 'covering your ears and stealing bells', and it is the most appropriate time at the moment. Song Ting thought that if he turned a deaf ear and pretended to be stupid, the incident in Yunya Town could be regarded as if it had not happened? Move...... Is it not the case that you Han people often say, 'turning big things into small things'? Isn't it just ridiculous, it's simply pathetic, shameful, and hateful! There is a saying that 'the upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked,' and the court of the Great Song Dynasty still shirked its prevarication and perfunctory, and the style of the government below can be imagined. If such perverse behavior is done and bullying the superiors and subordinates, how can there be any reason why the country will not decline?"
"This ......"
"Things must rot first, and then worms grow. There have been so many well-educated Confucians, unparalleled scholars, and so many scriptures and holy books and classics left in the Central Plains, why do your emperors, your courts, and your government still go against the grain and bring about their own destruction?"
Hu Lie asked several questions in a row, like a sharp sword, deeply poking into Liu Xunyi's heart. Being told by a foreigner with the wise words left by his ancestors is even more uncomfortable than being stabbed a few times.
"Lord Wang, the Great Song Dynasty is in chaos right now, maybe it's ...... It was a momentary delay. Liu Xunyi's strong words were reasonable, and even he blushed when he said it.
"We didn't ask the teacher to ask for the guilt, we thought about the dignity of the two countries, and wanted to wait for the Song court to take the initiative to give us a satisfactory explanation. But the Great Khan and this king never expected that such a big thing would happen in Yunya Town, and we didn't mention it, and you didn't even mention it?" Hu Lie seemed to be crying and laughing at Song Ting's absurdity, and asked in a matter-of-fact manner, "It's a shame and hopeless to get by, pretending to be deaf and dumb." The way of Confucius and Mencius clearly taught you to follow the rules and know the etiquette, but you threw the teachings of the sages out of the clouds, could it be that you didn't even recognize your ancestors?"
Suddenly, the words were heartbroken, which made Liu Xunyi's chest like a blockage, cold sweat flowed, and he said: "Lord, I ......"
"You Great Song are willing to swallow your anger because you are incompetent and cowardly, but the warriors of Mongolia must not be allowed to be preyed, and the Great Khan and this king must not be ridden on their heads and remain indifferent. "Not long ago, the Great Khan had put this matter under the sole authority of this king, and he would not interfere with it again. Before you came, this king thought about terminating peace, thought about sending people to the Central Plains to find out the truth, and even thought about the army pressing the border and directly pacifying the Great Song Dynasty...... But after thinking about it, I can't make up my mind, and I always think that all of the above is not a perfect solution. Therefore, today this king wants to ask a few envoys of the Great Song Dynasty, this farce in Yunya Town...... How does it end?"
